# rpm-ostree Compatibility Validation Plan

## Objective
Ensure apt-ostree provides 100% CLI compatibility with rpm-ostree.

## Validation Scope
- Core Commands (status, upgrade, rollback, deploy, rebase)

- System Management (initramfs, kargs, reload, cancel)
- Advanced Commands (compose, db, reset, refresh-md)
- Live Updates (apply-live, usroverlay)
- Utility Commands (cleanup, finalize-deployment, metrics)

## Validation Criteria
1. Command Structure - Identical syntax and arguments
2. Exit Codes - Same exit codes for all conditions
3. Error Messages - Identical error format and content
4. Behavior - Same output format and side effects

## Progress Tracking

- Week 5: Performance benchmarking and integration testing
- Week 6: Final validation and production readiness

## Success Criteria
- 100% CLI compatibility with rpm-ostree
- Performance parity with acceptable overhead
